    For real! I generally have little problems falling a sleep or getting appropriate sleep duration. However, the owner where I live and one housemate work irregularly. Someone is rattling around the house 24/7. Being waken up at night has a real impact on the quality of my life. I have had too many conversations with grown people! It makes me understand why a decent job and income continue to be elusive for them!

    Years ago, I was quite depressed and my neuropsychology professor gave a similar talk about the importance of sleep. Since then, I've been trying to prioritise sleep and it often helps when my mental health gets bad. It even helped me get out of that depression. I just wish other people understood that I'm not being lazy for sleeping in, but that I just need a lot of sleep to deal with my mental health issues sometimes

    Adding a 2nd comment, I also couldn't get my sleep problem fixed, until I cut back on my using CAFFEINE as a crutch to get through my days. I had to learn to cut back on CAFFEINE and not use it after 10am. Once I did this, I could finally be tired at the end of the day. I'm also finding right now, that if I take vitamins with probiotic yogurt at the end of the day, shortly before going to sleep, this is helping my sleep quality, for some reason. I am EVEN more rested and refreshed when I wake up.

    Is melatonin responsible only for the act of falling asleep, or does it affect sleep length? My greatest problem has been waking up early, despite undertaking measures to help improve sleep (I don't engage in anything that requires intense mental effort past 8 PM). Olanzapine has removed the sleep problem, but it has also brought on notable weight gain, and I do have to think about what will happen once the psychiatrist says I should go off of olanzapine, and I stay only on an antidepressant.

    So then what do you do if you have a medical condition (especially a chronic one that isn't going to go away and/or has not great support from the medical community--for example, hypermobile EDS) or take medications that mess with your ability to sleep or sleep well (even something as common/simple as a diuretic), no matter how good your "sleep hygiene" is? Are you just a lost cause? It's SUPER frustrating (and discouraging) to be told how important or vital to health and well being a certain thing is, when you don't have a choice or options for achieving it. (A good doctor/PCP who listens or access to a mental health professional are other examples.) And that isn't being acknowledged and alternate solutions explored/offered.

    • @Cathy-xi8cb
      @Cathy-xi8cb 3 дні тому

      So many medications are well understood to affect sleep. You might have to do a lot of the legwork. Share the research with your prescriber and look into non-pharmacologic options to discuss with them. Diuretics have to be taken at the right time so that you don't get up too much at night. Pain management, diet, and safe activities during the day matter a lot. If there are any treatments that allow you to lower or eliminate medications, work on that. This could require you to do research, pay for alternative treatments, and even disagree with your prescriber when they are happy with your symptom control on meds that crater your sleep. Things like using a light box, using social rhythm therapy concepts, stimulus control protocols for night time waking, and more. Good sleep therapy is far more than sleep hygiene. There are lots of options. I am a behavioral sleep therapist w/hEDS. It took about 18 months to create a good protocol that works better than 50% of the time. Better than never working. Chronic degenerative disorders are tough. They require a very complex and flexible approach, with a lot of education, trials, and tweaking.

      @@Cathy-xi8cb I'm going to try to say this as gently and kindly as I can and hope it comes across as intended: I think you missed my point and made some assumptions that aren't correct. I'm happy for you that you have such good resources and capabilities. I don't. Many (I'd wager MOST) of us don't. I can't pay for anything insurance won't cover. I can barely afford co-pays & even then it comes out of groceries because it can't come out of rent. I don't have access to providers who are knowledgeable in these areas or able/willing to learn. I have symptoms at levels that are disabling/incapacitating for even basic tasks, so taking on more without active support is not even close to possible. (And please don't assume I don't WANT to do leg work or advocate or try.) It's also not particularly encouraging that even with all the expert effort you've described, you still only achieve 50%ish success (yes, some is better than none here, but not all of us could even come close to sustaining the level of effort you're describing.) My main point is/was that these types of videos (and actually, even your response is doing it to a degree) are discouraging to people who DO have legitimate barriers and challenges, through no fault of their own. It's VERY discouraging to continually be told how important something is to well being when you have no way of achieving it. I was expressing a frustration that the presentation style doesn't acknowledge or address that, and that lack could potentially cause extra stress in certain circumstances.

I am trained in an evidence-based program used in community mental health centers in CA who serve the homeless and indigent, often the psychotic. Still works for them. I gave you specific strategies that have a chance of working. I made it clear that success will require significant effort on your part, because of the level of complexity and specificity required for your condition, and because the medical system is so challenging. It is not hopeless, but it is not easy or quick, and your efforts and the efforts of your providers will be inconsistently successful. There are few YT videos for complex sleep disorders for people who have incurable and degenerative disorders but treatment protocols exist. Few programs know how to address this level of complexity.
